I have a funny feeling we won't be seeing 50/50 starts this year. 

I think it will be pretty close to that. I think Holtby will get a slight edge, but something like 60/40 or 55/45 type of range.

 

I think they feel Demko is pretty much ready, but they aren't quite comfortable in taking the training wheels off, just yet.

We are in a situation where AV’s coin could come in handy.

That might explain why he looked so "off" / disengaged last game.  Have never seen him aloof like that - and it happened a number of times.

Lesson learned. Always be ready for contact 

 

was a clean hit. Quinn just didn’t expect it from 97

The first goalie off the ice usually means that they will be starting the game.

Thanks Vintage.  Wow after 20+ years of watching hockey, I learned something today

They noted Holtby was in the starter's net today...

 

OOOh the suspense

He looked tired to me.  He seemed to run out of gas near the end of game after the extra shifts.

Well we did have Cooke and Ruutu ad  I did love those guys..

And Kesler and Burrows...

For the most part, those guys would get in your face and make you hate playing against. But Cooke turned into a dirty player after he left, which I despise. Hard hitting and taking the body, no problem. But once you cross that line, you're done. I'd take Miller over Tkaschmuk any day. Linden played hard, but fair. There is a difference.

True.  Wasn’t JT playing on Tampa’s 3rd line.

He was. But he was also on pp #1. 
Our powerplay has been missing him. I hope he hits the ground running tonight and sparks the pp. Otherwise this thread is going to be gruelling.

Lets go boys

I wonder if the dip in PK can be attributed to the loss of Tanev.  He is an amazing shot blocker and a solid dman

Hamonic was thrown in there and I think he needs to get into game shape before given those duties. I also think there is the unfamiliarity playing with Elder too which will improve over time.

It doesn't show in that picture frame, but I remember Bieksa peeping through from the back corner during the altercation.

I wasn’t very big on Cooke. 
I was thinking more about Bertuzzi / Moore the other day, and realized that If Cooke didn’t first try to fight Moore (and lost in his attempt), Moore may have been more willing to drop gloves with Bertuzzi. Why did Cooke have to use that game as one of the very few times he was willing to fight? It just added to the frustration.

Then, why did you? You have your opinion, and so do I.
